More of the same here - our course is still "best to windward" as it has been since leaving Sanya. The wind has increased, our sail plan has decreased, but the only significant change has been that an overcast sky has lowered the sweltering temperature to something quite pleasant. We're looking ahead to starting our Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint in a few hours, but the forecast seems to favour those boats who began earlier this time.
As a nod to International Women's Day, I'll just point out that here on Nasdaq we're already a general paragon of gender parity. Everybody helms, cooks, sweats, cleans, navigates, bilges and trims together regardless of whether they are man, woman or hobbit.
Cheers,
